One Night With The Billionaire

It took a while before Chase returned. He looked dejected and sad when he got back to the sitting room. Jace was waiting for him to return and hear what Richard’s reasons for calling him were.

But didn’t expect that his brother would look so down and unhappy. He glanced at him and the latter stood, gazing at him with a hostile gaze.

He understood that he would be unhappy when he heard that he got a restraining order against Arianna. But he could talk to him rather than looking so sad and dejected.

“Is anything the matter, Chase?” Henry asked. He saw the two brothers gazing at each other. The elder with an expressionless, poker face and the younger with a hostile one.

“She’s in a coma. She attempted suicide. Thanks to you for the restraining order” Chase declared and glanced at his parents, “A friend is dying, I need to see her” he said and turned around to step out.

“I hope you will be able to explain this to Eli one day, if anything happens to his mother” he didn’t look back but Jace knew those words were directed to him and so did his parents.

Jace felt a cold shiver run down his spine. Arianna! Her name suddenly carried so much weight in his heart. For some minutes after Chase stepped out, Jace couldn’t say a word.

Attempted suicide? Arianna was going to take her life because of the restraining order that she was served? He became restless. He meant her no harm when he had his lawyer get a court order to keep her away from pestering him and contesting Eli’s custody with him.

“Who is she, Jace?” Amelia asked. Jace couldn’t answer his mother’s question. In fact, he didn’t hear her ask him the question.

Richard put his phone away and started the ignition. They got back to the hospital and went to see Arianna first. Her heart was getting stabilised and Richard said she would be out of coma, latest by dawn.

He examined her again and instructed the nurses on what to do next. Genesis didn’t say anything to him through the way back from the restaurant.

When he was done and sure Arianna was alright, he asked Genesis if she would spend the night in his lounge. There’s a mattress there and she could just take a bath. He would order a dress for her.

But Genesis said she would stay by Arianna’s side until she opened her eyes. Richard said she couldn’t stay in the ICU except she wanted to hang around the door. But then Chase arrived.

He had come straight to the ICU. Richard has told him in his words that Arianna was in the intensive care unit, having been attended to.

He got in and saw Arianna. He glanced at Richard and didn’t know what to say. Jace had made him lose face before his friend. If he had known that coming to the Hudson’s holding was going to bring Arianna and Jace come face to face with each other, he probably wouldn’t have allowed it.

“I should applaud your brother for his kindness towards Arianna”Richard said and Chase said, “Can I talk to you, privately?”

Richard didn’t answer him. He turned to Genesis, “come over to my lounge. We’ll come over to check on her every hour and when I think she will wake up soon, I’ll let you stay by her side” he suggested.

“I’m not leaving Aria’s side” Genesis insisted. Richard nodded, going over and standing by her side, staring down at their friend.

Chase knew Richard was unhappy with him. But this has got nothing to do with him. It’s Jace’s fault that Arianna was in such a condition.

“Richard please, I need to talk to you” Chase pleaded. Genesis glanced up at him and nodded, indicating that he should go. He is not the one at fault, his brother is the asshole.

Richard sighed and glanced at Chase. The latter’s face was red and he walked over, kissing Arianna’s temple and walked out.

As soon as they stepped out, Genesis drew closer and said “Arianna, why don’t you talk to me first, before taking the decision you took? You know I will be there for you, if you had communicated with me, first.

Do you think about me, about Eli and Richard before you did what you did? You do not care about those who truly love you and would go any mile for you. Why did you not think about us, Aria?

We love you Arianna. But it appears you do not love us, nor Eli. How can you even think of committing suicide, do you take a minute and think about how we are going to feel about it?

That our lives aren’t going to be the same again if you leave us. If you end your life, you have put several lives in misery. You are bad, Aria. You couldn’t even think about Eli, your actions are not justifiable..”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
